A Beautiful Saturday in the Black Hills

The past few days we have been in and out and doing some sightseeing.
Thursday we washed the outside of the RV...it sure needed it. We finally got the "Alaska dirt" off of the outside. It looks much better and we will do a better job when we get to Topeka. After lunch we drove to Hot Springs and then to the Mammoth Sight. It was so neat! They have built a building around the archeological sight of Mammoth bones. They are still digging and have found about 50 mammoths so far. Just amazing!

After that we drove through Custer State Park and saw some buffaloes,deer and antelope. It was a nice ride for sure!

Friday morning, Angela and I went quilt shop "hopping". The quilt stores were great and it was hard to decide what was coming home with me! I got some fabric to make a Christmas wreath... I plan to get it done so I can put it in the picture window.
We didn't do much yesterday afternoon but laundry here. For supper, we went with our friends and her brother and their friends to a chuckwagon supper and show at the "Dances with Wolves" set. It has really changed since we were there before. They have added a chuckwagon and more gift shops. The show was good and the food was good too! We enjoyed the evening.

Today, Bill and I ran into Rapid City to the store and stopped by the Black Hills Gold store only to come home empty handed......
We had everyone over for supper tonite and we fixed halibut and Larry grilled steak. Each couple brought something so we had quite a feast! It was fun visiting with everyone and the weather has been just gorgeous today. Only got to about 80 or so.

We are leaving in the morning for Ks.... planning to get to York, Nebraska at least.
Stay tuned...we are almost home!

So until next time!
